{"product_id":"pilo-d216-derailleur-hanger-for-focus","title":"Derailleur Hanger for Focus Izalco, Dolan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D216 Derailleur Hanger is a precision-machined replacement dropout hanger designed specifically for Focus framesets. If you have snapped a hanger on a punishing descent in Lonavala or clipped a rock on a Coorg trail, this is the part that gets your drivetrain shifting again — quickly and without drama. Stocking a spare is simply smart riding practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndia's roads demand resilience from every component. Pilo manufactures derailleur hangers to tight tolerances, meaning the D216 slots into your Focus frame precisely as the original would. For riders who tackle the Western Ghats or the broken tarmac around Pune and Hyderabad, carrying a spare hanger is as essential as an inner tube. At Rs. 3,950, replacing this sacrificial part is far cheaper than repairing a bent derailleur or damaged frame dropout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing for Indian Riders\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerailleur hangers are frame-specific, not rider-specific, so sizing is not a concern here. Confirm your Focus frame model number before ordering — the D216 is engineered for particular Focus framesets, and using an incorrect hanger can misalign your derailleur and damage your drivetrain. Check your frame's model year documentation or contact Cobbled Climbs for confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pilo D216 is compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo rear derailleurs commonly found on Focus bikes. It uses the standard derailleur hanger bolt pattern for those frames. After installation, always check and adjust your rear derailleur alignment. Keep a spare stored dry — Mumbai and Chennai monsoon humidity can cause unprotected alloy to oxidise over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete your mechanical preparedness kit with a rear derailleur from Shimano or SRAM, a chain wear indicator tool, a quality chain lubricant suited to wet Indian monsoon conditions, and a compact multi-tool for trailside repairs. These essentials cover the most common drivetrain failures on long rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pilo\"\u003eExplore the full Pilo collection at Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy from Cobbled Climbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% genuine — authorised Pilo retailer in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree delivery on orders above Rs. 2,500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCash on delivery available nationwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-day easy returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped from Mumbai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert advice — our team rides this gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e.cc-faq{margin:32px 0 24px}.cc-faq__item{border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;margin:0}.cc-faq__item:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5}.cc-faq__q{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;padding:24px 0;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:24px;outline:none}.cc-faq__q::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.cc-faq__q:focus-visible{outline:2px solid #000;outline-offset:-2px}.cc-faq__q::after{content:\"\";width:14px;height:14px;flex-shrink:0;background-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,\u003csvg viewBox=\\\"0 0 14 14\\\" xmlns=\\\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\\\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\\\"M2 5l5 5 5-5\\\" stroke=\\\"%23000\\\" stroke-width=\\\"1.5\\\" fill=\\\"none\\\"\/\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e');background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:center;transition:transform .2s ease}.cc-faq__item[open] .cc-faq__q::after{transform:rotate(180deg)}.cc-faq__a{padding:0 0 28px;margin:0}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003csection class=\"cc-faq\" aria-label=\"Frequently Asked Questions\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eWhat is the Pilo D216 Derailleur Hanger best used for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eThe Pilo D216 is a direct replacement hanger for Focus framesets. It acts as a sacrificial component, designed to bend or break before your derailleur or frame dropout sustains damage during an impact. Every Focus owner who rides technical terrain — whether in the Western Ghats, Coorg, or on Pune's rough roads — should keep one as a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eDo I need to check sizing before ordering the Pilo D216?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003eYes. Derailleur hangers are frame-specific, not rider-specific. Before ordering, confirm your Focus frame model and year to ensure the D216 is the correct match.

However, if you store spare hangers, keep them in a dry place — prolonged exposure to Mumbai or Chennai monsoon humidity can cause unprotected alloy to oxidise. Once fitted to your frame and used regularly, moisture is not typically an issue for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails class=\"cc-faq__item\"\u003e\u003csummary class=\"cc-faq__q\"\u003eHow does the Pilo D216 compare to using an original Focus replacement hanger?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"cc-faq__a\"\u003ePilo hangers are machined to tolerances that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. Many riders and mechanics actually prefer Pilo for its consistent quality and wide availability across frame brands.
